This movie reminds me of the movie's made by Hal Roach about sgt. Doubleday (hay Foot which can be viewed on this site) and LiL' Abner also based on a hillbilly comic strip. I really like both those films and movies based on the military so I really enjoyed this. It was funny, entertaining and dated which really appeals to me. Check it out if you are a fan of old B Comic strip and military comedies. Also check out Hay Foot which is awesome!

I never liked the Snuffy Smith comic-strip in the paper when I was a kid, so I was like the previous reviewer and didn't expect much, but I gave it a chance and I really liked it.

It was quick moving with decent acting by likable characters and the somewhat average storyline kept my attention.

I recommend it.

Based on the long-running comic strip (1919 - 2001). Perennial moonshiner Snuffy, pursued by revenuers, joins the army for a new pair of kaki pants and tobacco money. Of course, all hell breaks loose. Adding to the nuttiness are Nazi spies and an invisible dog. I didn't expect to like this one, but within a few minutes I was laughing in spite of myself. The diminutive Bud Duncan is a lot of fun as Snuffy, and Sarah Padden is great as his over-sized wife, Lowizi. First as a revenuer, then as a master sergeant, Edgar "slow burn" Kennedy is Snuffy's foil. A ridiculous plot, over-the-top hillbilly caricatures and slapstick - what more could you ask for?
